Prime Minister Attlee in ad
dressing the house of commons
Monday reiterated Winston
' Churchill's declaration that his
address at Fulton, Mo., last week,
was made on his own responsibil
ity, that he was not speaking for
the British government. Attlee
added that he had not seen a
copy of the speech in advance of
delivery, and that official declara
tions of British policy would be
found only in statements pf the
ruling ministry. In this country
President Truman declined com
ment on Churchill's proposal of
closer affiliation of the United
States and Great Britain as foil to
the ambitions of Soviet Russia,
but did state that he believed the
United Nations organization can
be made to work.
Now, days after the event,
comes Pravda to accuse Churchill
ef being out of step with the
times, with proposing a military
Ilia nee of two nations against
the third in a return to power
politics which would mean the
liquidation of the United Nations
organization.
It is apparent that Churchill's
address has created a great stir
- ail around the world. He is out
tf power in his own country, but
his great personality and his rec
ord as a leader give weight to
his words. Attlee may disown
him, Pravda may denounce him
but the world has heard him.
America has put its faith in the
United Nations organization. It is
ready to back that organization to
the limit with its influence and

Counties
Facing
Dilei
ma
i By Isabel Chllds , :
City Editor, The Statesman ,
The dilemma in which county
courts and county welfare com
missions over Oregon find them
selves to starve some appli
cants for assistance or to under
nourish all is present in aggra
vated; form In Marion county.
Here, despite the fact that the
court and budget commission have
"reached into the hat" to put
$10,000 more into the welfare bud
get than could have been antici
pated under the six per cent limi
tation: law (they did it legally,
but it took some figuring), ex
penditures for public welfare are
running behind at least $1682
each month.
Cut In Overhead Impossible
By close budgeting, the county
welfare commission could spend
$19,116, but is now spending
$20,633 a month out of the coun
ty's remaining $76,484.79.
i When a household or business
budget runs into the red, the exe
cutive; head of the establishment
figures some way to cut down the
overhead, but Director Marion
Boweri can't do that. Under the
matched money scheme whereby
federal, state and county funds
are utilized, the pay for salaries,
etc., comes out of federal funds,
i The i county puts out only for
direct payments in old-age as
sistance, blind assistance, aid to
dependent children and general
relief, and only a share of those.
Case Lead Increases
"Intake," which in the social
w-ork profession means the num
ber of persons accepted for var
ious types of assistance, has
jumped approximately 15 per
cent this year while the budget
has been upped 6 per cent.
Military allotments, which
helped j many an elderly person,
and the days of plenteous Jobs
for aging folk are gone, so old
age assistance is sought. So is aid
to dependent children. A regular
"wave"; of father desertions may
be explained- in numerous ways
but no explanation can lessen the
burden put upon funds.
Resort to Garbage Cans
In the fertile Willamette valley
there is actual hunger and Miss
Bowen herself bought and split
the wood recently for a pregnant
mother so that the woman and
her many children might have
heat and a cooked meal.
The comic paper character who
eats out of garbage cans Isn't
comic to Miss Bowen, who has
recently had some clients who
did just, that before seeking aid.
But neither can the welfare
commission refuse to add new ap
plicants:, to their lists. And the
county has already "robbed" its
other funds; the attorney general
says the money can't come out of
emergency funds; the governor
says the meagre old-age assistance
can't be cut; even the county court
can't this spring budget above 9
per cent more funds than were
budgeted last year.

nearing completion today.
J.-H. Willett, chairman of the

that several hundred dogs are be

ety of breeds, ranging from small
"toys" such as the tiny Chihua
huas to such hefty dogs as St
Bernards, Great Danes and Bor
zois, commonly called Russian
wolfhounds. -
Probably the oddest entries are
eight "barkless" dogs, officially
identified as Basenjls. Rare in the
United States, this African breed
is a tan short-hair dog with
curled tall. In the 25-30 pound
